Joker: Folie à Deux Off To A Slow Start At The Box Office, But That's No Surprise
Joker: Folie à Deux is in theaters now, and, as predicted, it is not performing as well as the 2019 film right out of the gate. The sequel earned $7 million from its Thursday previews in the US, according to Variety--that is just over half of the $13.3 million that the first movie made in Thursday screenings five years ago.
2019's Joker was a runaway success that went on to make over $1 billion against its relatively modest $65 million budget. The sequel, meanwhile, was never expected to match the success of the first. It had a significantly larger production budget and is tracking to earn between $50 million-$65 million for its opening weekend stateside. The original movie, meanwhile, made $96.2 million for its opening frame.
